“Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” – Douglas Macarthu rNot so fast General… Sometimes, they can be rebuilt. Introduced in 1996, the Jeep Wrangler TJ reintroduced the signature circular headlights that Jeep is known for. It also marked an improvement in ride and handling with coil- spring suspension, front and rear. If you own a Jeep Wrangler TJ, we know just how much it means to you. But we also know how awful it feels when an issue (large or small) threatens the mechanical life or aesthetic beauty of your favorite off-road soldier. One of the main issues that your...

Have you ever heard someone say CJ’s are “Rust Buckets”? The truth is that the CJ’s design lends itself to such a claim. Many areas of the CJ’s frame have overlapping steel with only one side welded where the metals marry, leaving the other side exposed to the elements.  Since most CJ owners are outdoor enthusiasts, their Jeeps have been exposed to rain, snow, mud, and everything else Mother Nature can throw at them. When moisture gets trapped between two metals, rust becomes the star of the show. If you see swelling where the metals overlap, there’s your sign that...

Introducing our Rear Shackle Mount Section (RB2002L & RB2002R) for your YJ Wrangler. The YJ Wrangler marks the end of an era in many ways, but perhaps the most notable and revolutionary is Jeep’s transition from leaf spring suspension to the modern coil spring.  This change was made primarily to increase the comfort and quality of driving, but it goes without saying that the technology behind the system was self-destructive.  The constant tug of war between the leaves and the shackle mounts, in addition to salt and water spray, literally pulled the vehicle apart over its lifespan. Our Rear Shackle Mount Section...

Introducing our latest TJ Wrangler rust solution, our Rear Frame Section (RB4020L & RB4020R). Though the TJ Wrangler features many modern upgrades from Jeep’s transition from the YJ, one of the borderline nostalgic, yet still neglectful, changes is the rear crossmember and rear bumper.  The YJ offered a bare frame rear crossmember and it was exposed to Mother Nature for rust and decay to accrue.  The TJ, however, offers a hollow plastic cover that, while still better than bare metal, redirects water straight under the tub and into the frame, practically exposing it like its brother before it. Enter our Rear Frame...

Introducing our latest TJ Wrangler rust solution, our Rear Crossmember (RB4022). Though the TJ Wrangler features many modern upgrades from Jeep’s transition from the YJ, one of the borderline nostalgic, yet still neglectful, changes is the rear crossmember and rear bumper.  The YJ offered a bare frame rear crossmember and it was exposed to Mother Nature for rust and decay to accrue.  The TJ, however, offers a hollow plastic cover that, while still better than bare metal, redirects water straight under the tub and into the frame, practically exposing it like its brother before it. Resting, still water makes quick work of...
